Description Suggest change

Many long moderate gullies up the west slope of Mt Webster, opposite Mt. Willey. The gullies, though moderate, are long, consistent, and offer some stunning views of the notch.

Most climbs, although perhaps technically easy, are alpine in nature. Be aware of, and cautious of, potential avalanche conditions. [R Hall; Admin's note]

Getting There Suggest change

Park on rt 302 on the east side and follow foot paths or bushwack to your climb. You will cross Saco river so be careful in spring conditions, but in winter the river is easy to manage.
